An Examination into Pre-Service English-as-a-Foreign-Language Teachers' Self-Perceived Technological-Pedagogical-Content-Knowledge
Gülten Kosar
E-Learning and Digital Media, v21 n3 p236-254 2024
A literature review indicates that no research has been conducted to date to examine pre-service English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers' self-perceived technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). Therefore, this study explores pre-service EFL teachers' (PSEFLTs) self-perceived TPACK, to understand whether it changes in line with their year of study and their views on the probable contribution of the pre-service English teacher education program to their TPACK. The findings obtained from the analysis of the data collected from a 36-item EFL TPACK questionnaire, conducted by performing descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA and a post hoc analysis, revealed that the level of PSEFLTs' technological knowledge was the highest, while their content knowledge was the lowest. In addition, there was a statistically significant difference in 28 items between the PSEFLTs' TPACK, resulting from the responses of the second-year students. The content analysis of the qualitative data gathered from telephone interviews demonstrated that even though the interviewees overwhelmingly regarded their TPACK level as high, they suggested that the curriculum for this program could be enriched by adding a course to it on the use of technology in EFL teaching.
